Our Family
What our Students have to say
“We go on Tiyulim at least every 2 weeks and we go everywhere! They are so fun and inspiring. The Torah and Eretz Yisrael literally comes to life before my eyes.”
“The culture of Tiferet is like no other - you notice it the moment you walk in- everyone is happy, friendly and motivated to get as much out of the year as they can.”
“When I go to Yerushalayim, I get the chills. I usually go three times a week and every time it’s so special.”
“The learning in Tiferet is intense. I wasn’t prepared for how much my Shiurim and Chavrutas would challenge me both intellectually and philosophically. It has taken my love and appreciation of Torah to a whole new level.”
“Never having to worry about having a place to go for Shabbat is huge. We know that we always have the Tiferet family to host us with open arms and a delicious home cooked meal.”
“I never heard anyone say anything bad about Tiferet. Now I know why. The teachers are unbelievable and the girls are exactly the kind of girls I want to spend my year with. Everyone is happy and with good reason.”
“I always loved Israel but now Israel has become a part of me. My love of Eretz Yisrael and Torah have become one and the same.”
“The learning in Tiferet is intense. I wasn’t prepared for how much my Shiurim and Chavrutas would challenge me both intellectually and philosophically. It has taken my love and appreciation of Torah to a whole new level.”
“Chesed at Tiferet is more than once a week. Because we are in a community there are opportunities for Chesed everyday!”
“My year in Tiferet has ingrained in me a love and passion for Israel. It’s not longer a vacation spot. It’s our home.”
“When people say Tiferet is a family they mean it literally. We become part of our teachers families. Whether it’s for a late night Vaad, a Chabura, a Shabbat or Yom Tov meal or just to hang out, we are always in our teachers homes.”
"Every Friday, I take the free Tiferet shuttle to Yerushalayim and sometimes we stay up all night learning and then Daven Netz at the Kotel. The Kotel at sunrise is breathtaking.”
“Our teachers are more than just teachers. They become are role models, mentors, confidant and our biggest cheer leader.”
“I never realized how many hours I would spend in the Beit Midrash. I love going over my notes everyday and seeing how much I’ve learned and appreciating what I’ve learned.”
“I love being a part of a community with my teachers all living within walking distance. There is so much to do here. Pretty much all of the restaurants and cafes in Yerushalayim are here. And yet, going to Yerushalayim is just a short ride away.”
"The girls I’ve met at Tiferet are not just my year in Israel friends. They are my friends for life.”
“The Tiferet campus is gorgeous. We live in apartments so we really feel like we are living in Israel. And we have all the amenities of home. However, my favourite is the beautiful Beit Midrash and the awe inspiring view from the roof.”
“In just the first week, I had been to the homes of five different teachers. They know my name, I got to know their family. The warmth of Tiferet made my transition so easy. I wasn’t homesick at all and was able to get into the learning right away!”
"With all of the amazing trips and activities at Tiferet, I’ve been able to cross out so many things off of my bucket list.”
“I never imagined how powerful my Davening can be. I’m connected so much more deeply to my Davening. It’s not just saying words but making Hashem a real and constant presence in my life.”
“The classes in Tiferet have blown me away. The teachers are brilliant, inspiring and relatable. I walk out of every class with a new perspective and deeper understanding. I’ve never learned Torah on such a high level.”
"Since they live nearby, teachers are always available for Chavrutas with us - day and night.”
“I love my Rakezet! We go to her house for Chug every Tuesday night and she meets with me at least once a week to check in to see how I’m doing and help me realize my potential.”
“What everyone says about the girls at Tiferet is so true. Each girl is so amazing. I’ve learned so much from each one.”
“I have six Chavrutas with teachers. We learn the topic of my choice and I now have the skills and the confidence to learn on my own.”
“Tiferet students come from all over Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States but we are all here for the same reasons.”
